The 18-year-old driver of a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) was arrested for ramming into a motorcycle after fighting with the motorcyclist in Malaysia.

Footage of the incident circulating on Facebook showed the driver colliding head-on with the motorcycle and then reversing into a ditch, causing injuries to the motorcyclist and his wife.

MPV driver & motorcyclist argue on the road, come to blows

One of the clips of the altercation, which had the timestamp of 5.57pm on Wednesday (17 Dec), was recorded by another motorist.

It showed two men arguing in the middle of a small road — the motorcyclist and the MPV driver.

A woman wearing a helmet stood next to a motorcycle and watched them.

The man in a white shirt calmly walked back and placed his belongings on the bonnet of a nearby car.

He then returned to the other man and punched him in the face, initiating a full-blown fight between the two.

Just as the motorcyclist pushed the driver to the ground, two other men walked over to break up the fight.

However, both parties continued shouting at each other.

A second clip was recorded by the same motorist one minute later, with the driver back in his MPV and the motorcyclist on his motorcycle.

Unexpectedly, the MPV then rammed straight into the motorcycle, then reversed, causing the motorcyclist to fall to the ground.

The MPV then moved forward again, apparently trying to leave the scene, but the motorcyclist managed to open the door and climb into it.

The MPV, with the motorcyclist still inside, then reversed and fell into a ditch by the roadside.

The two men who had earlier broken up the fight threw their hands into the air in exasperation.

Woman dragged by MPV

Another video, ostensibly taken from one of the houses, caught the MPV ramming into the motorcycle and the motorcyclist grabbing onto it.

It also revealed that the woman had also opened the driver’s door and screamed at him.

However, he then reversed the MPV while the woman was still holding on to it, dragging her across the road.

She managed to let go and hold on to another car before the MPV fell into the ditch.

In a statement posted on Facebook, the Seri Alam Police said the incident took place at about 6pm on Wednesday in Taman Johor Jaya, a residential estate in Johor Bahru.

This led to a physical altercation between them.

The MPV then rammed into the motorcycle, injuring the motorcyclist and damaging the motorcycle.
